I have a strange problem, apparently contradicting man pages and recent postings on --include / --exclude options.
On the server host I have directories to replicate only if they match a specific pattern ( date in different formats), they might be located 1 or 2 levels down from root directory and these parent directories (but not files) have to be replicated too. I understand, that given : rootdir/*/2002-08-01 rootdir/*/*/1-Aug-02 rootdir/*/2002-08/01 on the server, I should pick these up from the client using include file: 2002-08-01/ 2002-08-01/* 1-Aug-02/ 1-Aug-02/* 2002-08/01/ 2002-08/01/* in conjunction with --exclude=* on command line after include file is mentioned. This does not work. To simplify, I have few test directories on the server with couple of files there: root_dir/z/z1/z2/zn Include file: z/ z/t[0-9] that works fine for t1 file in it, but I could not get to t4 file in zn subdir: z/z1/z2/zn/ z/z1/z2/zn/t[0-9] z/z1/z2/zn/t4 t4 zn/ zn/t4 **/zn/ **/zn/t[0-9] Command line: rsync --password-file=_pass --include-from=inc --exclude=* -rvvn --archive --sparse --delete user@server::root_dir/ /tmp/t Please help.
